Mother, Father, Son (Oliver Hockenhull) - Composed of a series of family photographs and military archival footage, Hockenhull traces his father's participation in the assault of Dresden as a navigator in the Royal Canadian Air Force (a bombing that his father would subsequently describe as a "war crime") and in the process, creates a powerful and relevant statement on the government's role (and complicity) as a "weapon of mass destruction" in its pervasive and expedient manipulation of information.

Dresden — In three waves, 1,300 bombers dropped 3,300 tons of bombs. A firestorm was created that sucked in oxygen and fed the fire.
